This personal and intimate effort finds Diane returning to her roots in every aspect. It was recorded in NYC with veteran producer and engineer Stewart Lerman, with whom Diane recorded her very first CD in 1992. ("Day In, Day Out") However, her real co-stars on this collection of 11 titles, are her Martin Guitars. Every track, every instrument, every voice, and every arrangement was written, played, sung, and conceived by Diane.
Graphics and photos were beautifully done by longtime collaborators Risa Wallberg and Sardi Klein, while the mastering of this all acoustic set was done in Germany by another of Diane's time-tested colleagues, Pauler Acoustics. ("Army of Angels")
From the ukulele infected romp of "Think Again", to the smoky jazz chords of "Got Alot To Learn", you'll find a diverse palette of moods, sounds, and themes. This is a box of ear candy that we suggest you eat with headphones.
Diane's 7th CD has the
distinction of having been recorded in New Zealand, and features the tasty
production skills of veteran kiwi Anna Rugis.
Largely the work of a dedicated trio of talent, the arrangements although spartan, underscore Diane's guitar playing and vocals, along with her spirited percussion.
Bassist Neil Hannan, who also wore the hat of engineer, lends a multitude of flavors for the bottom here. The coup de grace were the touches of Anna's back-up vocals.
Diane is among an elite set who have raised their voices with Anna, among them, Van Morrison and Cat Stevens.
Recorded and mixed in Auckland, mastered in seaside Devonport by well regarded engineer Rikki Morris, the cover art features the brilliant work of NZ painter Rachel Olsen. The graphics were designed in Germany, and the discs were manufactured in the USA by Oasis, fusing this project with a panache of international effort that spotlight the dozen originals within.
Fans of Diane's live work will feel at home here, and new friends will embrace the clarity, vision, soul, and musicality
"Day
In Day Out"
Released in 1992 on the Soulfeggio label (with Stewart Lerman as associate
producer) this CD of 13 Ponzio originals was her debut recording. In actuality,
it was a compendium of years of demos, with four tracks cut specifically
for the disc. Several thousand copies are in circulation, but this disc is
out of print and no longer commercially available.
"Army of Angels"
Released in 1996 on the prestigious Stockfish label in Germany, the quality
of this recording is palpable. This 12 song set features Chris Jones on
second guitar.
Fretless bass and some nice accordion touches round out the acoustic sound.
This CD is out of print and no longer commercially available.
"Thanks to You"
This superb collection of 12 Ponzio originals features the guiding hand of production luminary Joe Castellon, and stellar accompaniment from bassist Paul Socolow, throughout.
A few tracks have been deliciously graced by percussionist Jamey Haddad and guitarist John Putnam. Considered by Diane to be her best work to date, this disc faithfully and masterfully, captures her rich vocals and signature guitar work. The songs deliver poignancy, punch, and panache.
